1 week ago Has Bo Bichette played his last game in a Toronto Blue Jays uniform?

For Bo Bichette and the Toronto Blue Jays, there was almost an all-time moment to potentially conclude their time together.In Game 7 of the World Series, a hobbled Bichette stepped up to the plate in the second inning — and launched a blast over the outfield wall to give Toronto a 3-0 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers.Had Toronto gone on to win the title, Bichette's homer might've been printed on t-shirts and the front page of newspapers all over the country. But Toronto ended up scoring just one more run that game and gave up five, with the Dodgers taking Game 7 by a 5-4 score in the 11th inning.The home run, and Bichette's whole appearance in the World Series, were perhaps clouded by some thoughts about how exactly to handle his pending free agency this offseason. Bichette has been a fan favourite since making his debut in 2019, but is without a contract for next year.Will Bichette be on the Blue Jays next year?NBC Sports' Matthew Pouliot projects a contract ...

While Barger crossed home plate on what looked like perhaps the unlikeliest of inside-the-park home runs to tie the game, he was forced back to second on a ground-rule double, while lead runner Myles Straw was forced back to third.Barger was then caught on a double play to end the game after an Andres Gimenez line-out to left fielder Enrique Hernandez, forcing a Game 7 on Saturday night in Toronto.For those in attendance, they'll see the Commissioner's Trophy presented to the winner of the final MLB game of the season, whether it be the Dodgers or the Blue Jays.&qu...
